Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-25 22:24] Hi Gyorgy,
This takes me back to my days of enjoying black and white film and experimenting in the dark room. Love the grain, love the feel of this image, love the grittiness, love the lonely feel. it really resembles something from another far forgotten era.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-23 20:48] Hi Ana,
I love the colours and textures here which add great character to the scene. Of course the bike and the man in the doorway finish it off so well. I like your angle of view to add perspective and a diagonal in the composition which is pleasing. Looks like a very photogenic place.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-22 21:15] Hi Gert,
I can understand fully why you find it hard to leave India, It is a fascinating and wonderful place, one that I would happily return to time an again. Beautiful temples here, and it is amazing to think how long they have been standing there and hopefully will continue to do so. Thanks for sharing your memories of these kind of places. Perhaps as the world keeps modernising at such a rapid rate, and things are destroyed for no reason, eventually memories and photo's might be all that we have left of some special places that once were.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-22 21:09] Hi Elaine,
I always like this kind of daily life scene, where one can see the surroundings that a peson finds themselves in on a daily basis. So much delightful detail to take in here, I am transported to another time and place, far from my computer screen. Love it.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-22 21:00] Hi Anil,
This shot for me almost has a melancholy feeling. I like the silhouetted wind blown trees that are so crooked, and the solitary runner adds a touch of life to the scene. The choice of black and white suits the subject matter well.

Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-22 20:57] Hi Abmdsudi,
What I like most about this shot is the very low POV and very wide angle that you have chosen. It adds a real dynamism and uniqueness to the image. I also like to see the traditional architecture in the background, setting the scene and acting as a nice canvas for the two characters that fill the frame so well in their placement in it. A nice slice of street life.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-22 20:51] Hi Takero,
When I think about carnival, Brazil always comes to mind, so it is interesting to know that Japan also has one. I like this dynamic and colourful portrait of this lady in all her finery. Nice that she has spotted you and that she is acknowledging you. Good composition with the feathers filling the frame.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-05 22:15] Hi Daniel,
The open gate invites us to enter into the scene beyond. I like the wide open feeling and the crisp focus, light and clarity. A beautiful winterscape.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-05 22:11] Hi Gerrit,
This image screams Cuba, with the old car and the poster behind as well as the architecture. It is for these kinds of photographic features that I would love to visit Cuba. You have a good POV here at an angle to showcase the car in all it's fine glory.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-05 22:04] Hi Takero,
A cute shot with these girls in all ages. I like their fascination with the colourful koi fish below. A lovely picturesque scene with the red bridge included. I like your equal share of the frame dedicated to the girls and the pond.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-05 21:58] Hi Roland,
The square cropping works well here together with the colours of the bus to create an interesting frame of a daily scene that catches the eye.

Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-05 21:53] Hi Luciano,
Butterflies are a little piece of magic of nature, they are so beautiful with their colours and patterns, and it is amazing how many varieties there are. This is a fine specimen that you have captured here. Great sharpness and clarity and close up to show it off in all it's beauty.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-05 7:00] [+]Hi Gyorgy,
I like this in the moment shot with the steam enveloping the man as he stirs over his large pot. A great atmosphere and a fine composition for this story telling image.
Regards
Wanda

Wanda1 (15142) [2016-02-05 6:40] Hi Gert,
I too like this choice the best...There is a good feel to it with the lady reaching for the books she wants, and what I also like is that she somehow matches, in her colours she is wearing, with many of the books on the shelf. I am glad to see that in our modern day and age, with technology such as kindles and e-books, that true books are still popular in some places. For me there is nothing better than holding and turning the pages of a real book. A well seen and well composed image, taken at the right moment.
Regards
Wanda
